To A. I. RYKOV and V. M. MOLOTOV

Comrades Rykov and Molotov,

I request that you inform me in a few lines how you have resolved the matter concerning Glavryba and Potyaev.36 I have received another letter from a certain S. Elizarova, head of the scientific-technical department of Glavryba, who

has also appealed to the Control Commission with a passionate defense of Potyaev, although she disagrees with him on a number of points, and with an indication that all serious specialists stand behind Potyaev.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
